I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the School of Business and Economics at the University of Tübingen and a member of the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning for Science". Prior to this position, I completed a Ph.D. in economics at the University of Mannheim followed by a position as a Senior Research Fellow at Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Economics in Bonn.
My research interests span labor, development, and political economy. I am particularly interested in the socioeconomic effects of modern and traditional media as well as in social norms and discrimination. Beyond my topical focus, I am interested in the development and application of machine learning methods to both accurately identify economic effects and draw insights from unconventional or unstructured data.
